Episode notes
Plaque Is Inflammatory Process
- Plaque in arteries is an inflammatory process, not just a buildup of bad fats.
- Plaques can rupture unpredictably due to inflammation, causing heart attacks.
Heart Attacks Are Sudden Events
- Plaque ruptures cause blood clots that block arteries suddenly, leading to heart attacks.
- Most heart attacks occur without prior symptoms, contrary to older beliefs.
Most Ischemia Is Silent
- 80% of ischemia (lack of blood flow) is silent without chest pain or symptoms.
- You need about 70% artery blockage to reduce blood flow significantly and cause symptoms.
